| LIFE CV-19: Effects on life, work, and sports

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

As for moving the game, enough rules have been bent already to allow Ohio State to detour their way into the playoffs. Who is to say if they postpone it a week, that things will be any better then? This is Alabama/LSU all over again. Alabama wants to play. The SEC will have Alabama's back. If this game is postponed, it's going to be a fight to get it done, and it may get ugly behind the scenes.

I'm going to summon my best Rhett Butler comment "Frankly, Scarlett (buckeyes), I don't give a damn."

They've been given the exact same hand that everyone else was dealt. So they deserve all the scrutiny & retribution they can get.

Yep. Said this in the Waddle thread, but OSU and the B1G conference are going to be in for a fight if they try and get the game postponed. Alabama and the SEC isn't going to bend easily on this, for a myriad of reasons.

No one doesn't want to give Coach Saban any extra time!

I just saw that there. If the mods want to delete this thread go ahead.

And LOL...

Is it just two of their starting defensive linemen or more?

A big chunk of our team got it in late spring and summer.

Didn't a lot of their guys recently have it as well?

Really just need one big ass game thread.

No, it's all good. It really deserves it's own thread as it will likely be a big story all week.

Or that.

I've only seen where an OSU mod said Tyreke Smith and Tommy Togiai tested positive. Haven't really seen it confirmed by anyone else, but I also haven't looked for it so not sure. Also not sure about the contract tracing aspect of it all.

Wonder how this would affect Sark's status for the game?

One of the many reasons Alabama isn't going to give an inch.

I thought the CFP committee had said they were not postponing any of the games? Is there a provision to allow for a delay? What if they delay it a week and then our team has a covid issue... do we put it off another week or two? When does it end?

 

[ColAngus]

That post from Saban's daughter can't be real, can it? He would skewer her for getting up in the middle of this.

I read where the committee said the 18th if the 11th was postponed.
